To  Collectors — In  this  sale,  my  48th,  I offer  the  old  collection  of  Mr. 
P.  D.  Peterson  of  Eau  Claire,  Wis..,  as  well  as  several  other  splendid  con- 
signments and  small  collections.  Most  of  the  coins  in  the  Peterson  collec- 
tion were  purchased  and  collected  over  twenty  years  ago,  and  are  very 
desirable  specimens.  Mr.  Peterson  was  a diligent  and  systematic  collec- 
tor. He  was  mostly  interested  in  Scandinavian  coins  and  those  of  the 
United  States.  He  still  has  a fine  collection  of  relics  and  antiques,  which 
also  is  for  sale. 

In  this  sale  you  will  find  offerings  that  seldom  appear.  Therefore 
buy  them  now  while  opportunity  presents  itself.  Make  your  bids  liberal 
and  I will  do  my  utmost  best  for  you.  I think  of  the  buyer’s  purse  as  well 
as  the  seller’s.  Do  not  overlook  the  following:  Early  gold  half  eagles, 
1824  quarter  eagle,  18  36  dollar,  Bryan  money,  Swedish  Plate  Money,  C.S.A. 
half  dollar  of  1861,  Widow’s  mites,  Coin  Holders,  Old  documents,  Foreign 
crowns  and  double  crowns,  U.  S.  Commemorative  coins,  Canadian  coins. 
Hard  Times  tokens,  Paper  Money,  Rare  foreign  copper,  Fine  Ancient  coins, 
extensive  series  of  United  States  coins,  etc.,  etc. 

Head  Every  Word  in  This  Catalog  or  you  are  very  apt  to  miss  just  what 
you  want. 

Keep  on  my  mailing  list  by  sending  bids,  or  if  you  find  nothing  to  bia 
on,  request  next  list  simply  by  a postal  card.  You  will  find  a great  varie- 
ty of  numismatic  material  in  this  sale,  some  choice  and  rare  items,  and 
will  be  well  paid  for  giving  the  contents  of  this  sales  list  your  careful 
perusal. 

The  usual  charge  of  5%  will  be  made  for  executing  your  bids,  and  for 
packing  and  sending  out  material.  No  charge  made  on  anything  not 
actually  purchased.  This  fee  is  verv  low  for  the  superior  service  I expect 
to  give  you. 

Collectors  of  experience  find  that  not  all  dealers  classify  coins  alike. 

My  classifications  and  descriptions  are  based  on  knowledge  gained 
through  15  years  of  earnest  dealing  in  coins.  I have  endeavored  to  re- 
frain from  over-rating  the  quality  of  a lot,  which  is  so  common.  I believe 
that  the  word  “RARE”  should  not  be  over-worked. 

Please  remember  my  strong  guarantee.  If  goods  are  not  satisfactory 
(you  are  to  be  the  judge),  you  are  at  liberty  to  return  them  without  any 
danger  of  offending. 

New  bidders  should  send  references  or  a deposit  of  at  least  2 5 per 
cent  of  bids. 

Coins  will  be  bought  as  much  below  your  bids  as  possible,  as  this  is 
competitive  bidding  carried  out  in  good  faith. 

If  you  do  not  know  how  much  to  bid  on  any  item,  write  me  and  I 
shall  be  glad  to  inform  you  as  to  its  value. 

Receipted  bills  are  not  sent  after  your  remittance  as  this  is  un- 
necessary. Your  check,  draft,  or  money  order  itelf  is  a receipt  and  we 
ask  you  to  pay  only  once.  However,  if  a 2-cent  stamp  is  enclosed  we 
will  send  receipt. 


CONDITION  OF  COINS 

The  classifying  of  coins  is  an  intricate  and  sometimes  nerve-testing 
effort.  Even  expert  numismatists  are  disagreed  on  various  points.  In 
my  auction  sales,  it  is  my  earnest  purpose  to  give  both  buyer  and  seller 
a square  deal.  It  is  quite  natural  and  common  for  an  owner  to  over- 
rate the  condition  of  his  own  coins,  sometimes  without  realizing  it.  But 
when  a dealer  sells  a coin  to  a customer,  he  should  place  himself  in  the 
customer’s  place  and  abide  by  the  golden  rule.  I want  to  have  my  cus- 
tomers get  what  they  expect,  and  try  to  represent  everything  fairly. 
Therefore,  I have  adopted  the  following  definitions  of  conditions  of  coins, 
this  feature  being  of  the  very  highest  importance  in  collecting.  Please 
make  your  bids  according.  And  remember,  that  even  in  my  auction  sales 
I guarantee  absolute  satisfaction  in  every  way  or  your  money  will  be

cheerfully  refunded  as  well  as  any  postage  you  have  expended  in  return- 
ing lots. 

A coin  in  proof  condition  is  one  of  that  class  which  is  prepared  in  the 
mint  particularly  for  numismatic  purposes.  This  is  the  highest  state 
of  condition  imaginable  and  a coin  in  this  condition  has  its  maximum  val- 
ue. The  planchet  (bare  piece  of  metal  before  struck)  and  dies  are  pol- 
ished before  the  coin  is  struck  (made)  and  this  gives  a burnished,  mirror- 
like, reflective  surface.  Never  try  to  polish  a coin.  The  only  time  this 
could  be  done,  is  before  it  was  made. 

A coin  in  uncirculated  condition  is  one  that  is  in  just  the  same  state 
or  condition  as  when  delivered  from  the  mint.  It  must  not  be  tarnished 
or  blackened,  but  must  have  a splendid  general  appearance.  The  coin 
must  be  entirely  desirable.  Luster  is  usually  abundant. 

A coin  in  fine  condition  is  one  which  shows  to  the  naked  eye  no  signs 
of  wear.  They  may  have  become  tarnished  or  blackened,  but  seldom  are. 
As  a matter  of  fact,  a coin  may  have  experienced  considerable  traveling 
and  yet  be  classified  as  fine  if  it  has  been  luckily  in  good  hands. 

A coin  in  good  condition  must  show  every  feature  very  plain.  Coins 
with  part  of  the  legend  worn  smooth  are  not  good  specimens. 

A coin  in  fair  condition  is  a piece  which  has  been  very  considerably  in 
use,  but  upon  which  the  most  of  the  lettering,  design,  and  date  is  clearly 
readable.  Moreover,  the  coin  must  be  free  from  mutilation.  If  the  sur- 
face of  the  piece  has  been  worn  down  so  smoothly  that  the  design,  legends, 
and  date  are  not  plain,  or  if  there  is  a hole  in  it,  or  if  it  has  been  bent  or 
is  corroded  or  otherwise  damaged,  then  such  a coin  cannot  be  classed  as 
fair,  as  it  is  not  as  valuable. 

J.  W.  Scott  once  said,  “No  two  stamps  if  examined  critically  are 
exactly  alike.”  I can  say  the  same  thing  of  coins.  Therefore,  it  is  nec- 
essary to  use  intermediate  conditions  as  follows: 

Extremely  fine — with  not  enough,  original  mint  luster  to  be  classed 
as  uncirculated. 

Very  fine — Fine,  extra  strong,  well-struck,  and  desirable  in  general 
appearances. 

Very  good — Everything  very  plain  and  showing  very  little  wear  on 
any  part.  Just  the  highest  parts  of  the  coin  are  affected. 

Very  fair — Everything  legible,  but  general  appearance  not  worthy  of 
the  classification  “good.” 

Other  terms  speak  for  themselves.  Among  these  are  poor,  very  poor, 
holed,  scratched,  bent,  nicked,  mutilated,  polished,  cleaned,  tarnished, 
corroded,  eroded,  dented,  rubbed,  etc.  These  terms  have  the  same  mean- 
ing in  relation  to  coins  that  they  have  in  other  usage.  See  Webster’s 
Dictionary. 

It  is  nearly  impossible  to  improve  the  numismatic  condition  of  a 
coin  by  any  method,  except  in  very  rare  cases,  and  then  only  at  the  hands 
of  an  expert.  By  this  I mean  that  if  a piece  is  worn  or  scratched,  it  can 
not  be  remedied  by  polishing.  On  the  contrary,  its  condition  may  be  low- 
ered in  degree. 

WHAT  OTHERS  HAVE  TO  SAY 

On  file  in  my  office  are  one  thousand  signed  testimonials,  all  unsolic- 
ited; these  may  be  inspected  by  visitors.  Here  are  a few  that  were  just 
recently  received: 

“As  usual  I find  the  coins  as  represented  in  the  catalog  as  to  condi- 
tion which  is  worth  considerable  to  bidders.”  From  Pennsylvania. 

“Any  enthusiast  can  well  afford  to  indulge — especially  if' he  is  desir- 
ous of  securing  choice  coins — for  as  you  advertise,  your  coins  come  thru 
just  as  rated.  Good  work;  keep  it  up!”  Michigan. 

“As  the  New  Year  begins,  allow  me  to  reiterate  my  profound  apprecia- 
tion of  your  square  dealing  and  excellent  values.”- — Ohio. 

“I  have  noticed  that  your  auction  catalogs  have  grown  from  a couple 


4 


of  pages  to  a very  good  catalog,  which  I figure  is  the  result  of  giving  sat- 
isfaction.”— Calif. 

‘‘Your  check  received  for  collection  sold.  You  certainly  did  far  bet- 
ter than  I expected.  I am  well  pleased  with  such  fine  results.”- — New  York. 

‘‘Proceeds  received  from  the  consignment  you  sold  for  me,  and  I am 
entirely  satisfied  with  same,  as  I did  not  expect  that  sum.” — Pennsyl- 
vania. 

‘‘I  am  pleased  with  the  coins  and  would  like  to  thank  you  for  the 
promptness.” — Chicago. 

‘‘The  coins  you  secured  for  me  at  your  auction  were  just  what  I want- 
ed. In  fact,  I have  been  looking  for  some  time  for  three  of  the  items. 
The  Russian  coin  is  a beauty.” — Calif. 

‘‘I  have  been  appointed  the  official  buyer  for  a group  of  coin  collec- 
tors, -so  I keep  you  busy  with  our  bids.  The  last  coins  arrived  O.K.  and 
we  are  all  pleased.” — New  York. 

‘‘Will  have  to  give  you  credit  for  grading  your  coins  properly  so  a 
person  knows  just  what  they  are.” — Illinois  (from  an  experienced  col- 
lector) . 

“I  appreciate  your  courtesy  in  allowing  me  to  return  the  coin,  which 
I ordered  by  mistake.  Everything  else  was  fine.” — Texas. 

“This  exceeds  my  expectations  somewhat,  and  I thank  you  for  the  A-l 
service  rendered.” — Pennsylvania. 

“Sale  items  received.  I am  so  well  pleased  with  the  way  you  handled 
my  bids,  that  I hardly  know  how  to  express  my  thanks  and  appreciation. 
Enclosed  find  my  check  of  $42.09  to  cover.  I can  hardly  get  this  to  you 
quick  enough,  as  I feel  so  happy  and  pleased.” — S.  D. 

Let  me  sell  your  collection  or  duplicates  in  these  sales.  Quick  returns 
and  satisfactory  results  are  realized.  My  sales  are  held  regularly  each 
month.  Write  for  terms. 

PLEASE  BID  BY  THE  PIECE  UNLESS  STATED  TO  BID  FOR  THE  LOT. 
Thus  if  there  are  12  pieces  in  a lot  and  you  wish  to  pay  $6.00  for  the  lot, 
then  bid  50  cents.  At  each  sale  someone  bids  by  the  lot.  Don’t  do  this; 
bid  by  the  piece.

pieces  of  ancient  gold  coins  of  the  period  of  Emperors  Claudius,  Galba, 
and  Trajan.  He  sold  them  to  the  State  for  $800.  They  will  be  added 
to  the  Capitol iu m Museum,  and  are  regarded  as  a rare  find.  They  have 
been  estimated  to  be  worth  $25,000,  but  this  figure  is  perhaps  high.
